GENESEE TOWNSHIP, MI – Police are investigating an incident
involving a 17-year-old Kearsley High School student who allegedly threatened a female schoolmate with a gun on
Friday, April 12, at a mobile home park.

Since the two are students at Kearsley High School, the
school was put on "secure mode" last Friday. The secure mode -- which police said is a step below lockdown mode -- was not put in place Monday and there was no real threat to the school, said
Genesee Township police Chief John Mullaly.

The incident occurred around 11 a.m. Friday at Genesee Villa Mobile Home Park, about 2 miles from the high school. The two had a verbal
argument at school prior to the incident at the mobile home park, Mullaly
said.

The superintendent sent a letter home to parents Friday alerting
them of the incident.

"(Friday) morning there was an off-campus threat alleged to
have taken place between two high school students," wrote superintendent Patti
Yorks in the letter posted on the school's website. "Police were involved.
Although the alleged incident did involve two high school students, the Genesee
Township Police did not suspect any concerns arising on school campus."

Mullaly said police
sent a couple of patrol cars to the school on Friday to ensure safety.

He said the teen fled the scene. Police are in the process
of obtaining warrants, he said.
